I believe one of mine SS20's has or had mixed SM71 modules. I have mixed 
other modules (different speed hyperSPARCs for example) and not had issues.

Mixing hyperSPARCs with SuperSPARCs will cause problems with 
SunOS/Solaris/etc as they use different drivers.

You should be fine, but only one way to be sure!
